Shop at T.J. Maxx for a Great Cause!

Ready to shop 'til you drop and better yet, for a really great cause? For the 26th year, T.J.Maxx is teaming up with Save the Children to generate funds that will go toward making long-term, positive changes in the lives of children in the U.S. and worldwide. The nonprofit organization works to give underprivileged kids what they need grow up safe and healthy, with access to programs and funds that improve their education and chances of success.

Starting August 2, you can be part of the outreach program! It's as simple as hitting up the nearest T.J.Maxx, perfectly in time for some serious back-to-school shopping. While you're perusing the aisles, check out the specially designed Save the Children totes. All profits from the reusable bags - featuring original artwork by the STC children - will be given to the program. From August 9 through 16, keep an eye on eBay: A handful of celeb-autographed STC totebags will be auctioned off. Get 'em while you can! And even simpler: Get on Facebook and help spread the word to your friends. For every Save the Children fact and cute totebag image posted on your profile, T.J.Maxx will donate $1. Or consider an in-store donation, accepted at registers August 2 through 21.

To date, Save the Children has reached more than 50,000 children in the U.S. alone, providing kids in need with learning, literacy, nutrition, and physical activity programs.
